Rejection notice for the form submitted with an extra remittance.

Question

I filed I-485, I-765, and I-131 in the month of May, and today I received a rejection notice without a receipt or an alien number stating as below: 
                                                                                               *** 
Recently, you submitted an application for immigration benefits. That form was submitted with an extra remittance that is not required to process your application. Your payment is being returned to you with this notice. No additional action by you is required at this time. 
 
If you submitted a G-1450 Authorization for credit card transaction, your submitted G-1450 has been destroyed.  
                                                                                                *** 
Could you please help me understand what this means? I have not received any documents or payment back in this applicant copy. 
 
Thanks in advance!

It looks like the rejection notice you received is informing you that your application was submitted with an extra payment that wasn't necessary. This notice means they are returning your payment to you, and you do not need to take any additional steps at this moment. The mention of the G-1450 form indicates that if you had authorized a credit card payment, that authorization form has been destroyed. 
 
Not receiving a receipt or alien number could be concerning, but it might simply mean that your application package was not fully processed due to the extra payment issue. It’s important to keep an eye on your mail and bank statements for the returned payment.  
 
If you don't receive your documents or payment back soon, it might be a good idea to contact USCIS for further clarification. This way, you can ensure there aren't any additional issues with your application.
